> Hi, all!
> I just wanted to pass along one of those "aha" moments from class this
> week.
>
> A couple years ago, a student passed away from a congenital heart
> defect. He would have graduated this year, and the students are
> having a special activity to raise money for the National Heart
> Association in his honor on Valentine's day. I was asked to have the
> students to create something to give his parents, like a big card or
> something. But I'm really bored with making big cards and signs.
>
> I used the Incredible Art Department lesson "History Mystery Picture"
> and we made a really neat portrait of the student -- copying his
> cut-up photo square-by-square. Each student got to contribute to the
> portrait, and it really looks like him! I got chills as I started
> piecing the squares together and watching the students realize who
> they were drawing. The students really got into the project, too --
> even the "slackers." :)

> I can't find the link to the lesson plan, but I have it on my school
> computer, so if anybody wants info, feel free to ask. This has always
> been a favorite lesson plan of mine, but this was the coolest mystery
> picture ever!
